    Who's laying the dark brown eggs?

    I do not think the plymouth is a maran (though I'd love it if she was!) because, as I said, I've had plymouths before and she matches them exactly. Also, like, she's from tractor supply, so I doubt they'd mix up a plymouth and a maran (Pretty sure there's a big difference money wise lol) What...

    Who's laying the dark brown eggs?

    I could, if I wasn't away at college. Besides, I don't think they would appreciate me following them around all day until one of the laid the right egg

    Who's laying the dark brown eggs?

    Hello! So my pullets (well, hens now) have reached laying age. From my previous research, I thought all of them should lay just like your basic brown eggs. However, now that they are laying, someone is laying these beautiful dark(er) brown eggs and I have no idea who it is! These are the eggs...

    Pullet with swollen, soft crop

    Yesterday morning I noticed my barred rock pullet had a distended crop that was soft to the touch. She was rather sluggish and uninterested in food. I didn't have much time yesterday, but this morning the cropped looks slightly flatter, though she was a tad more listless. When I moved the other...

    What to feed a chicken that can't close her beak?

    I gave her some wetted food tonight, she wasn't too interested in it, as she's getting kind of apathetic. In the morning I'll see if she's eaten any/if she will eat any.

    What to feed a chicken that can't close her beak?

    I thought about it, but the canker might get in the way, or it could get very messy at the least. If it comes to that I'll try it though

    What to feed a chicken that can't close her beak?

    So awhile ago I posted and found out my chicken was suffering from a canker in the corner of her mouth. We got the recommended medicines and have begun treating her. However, the canker (or the pocket when the canker is removed, to a lesser extent) prevents her from closing her mouth completely...

    Strange infection in corner of chicken's mouth

    Photos included, kind of gross. You were warned. We have an ameraucana hen who is on the older side, though still laying. The issue first occurred while I was away at college. My mother noticed that the hen couldn't seem to close her beak anymore and had way appeared to be a growth on the side...

    What gender is my EE?

    I agree that it's a poulet. The indicators I usually go by are the crowing, the body shape/size and the neck feather shape. First, the crowing. It looks to me like that poulet is old enough that if it was indeed a roo, it would have been crowing, although that is not always the case. The body...
